Greyscalegorilla at MGFest

Just wanted to let everyone know that I will be in Washington DC all weekend for the Motion Graphics Fest. If your in town, come say hi tonight at the party will ya? I also will be teaching the After Effects classes on Saturday and Sunday. I will try to do some quick GSG live casts from the event as well. Make sure to follow me on Twitter to find out when I’m on live. Hope to see you there.

Nick, Thanks for the great AE class on Saturday. I thought you were very successful at accommodating all the various skill levels in the class. I definitely feel about 8 levels better. Keep up the good work!

Man, I’m extremely jealous of you guys, keep looking at MGfest facebook page thinking ‘maybe next year?’ flights are a little pricey for me from the UK though and I can never seem to find anything like that over here 🙁 Congrats to you anyway Nick, it sounds like you rocked out!

Sorry to hog this post but that’s just reminded me of something I wanted to say when you first posted that. It seems to me that there’s a certain curve to learning and producing animation. In that, at the beginning everything you do is hard work and very, very time consuming, then you learn more about software and get that to do the donkey work for you, to an extent. For me anyway, and not through laziness, you then feel you’re doing something wrong by sticking a hundred hours on a project with the suspicion that you’re doing something wrong, or don’t have the right plugin, and I personally find this piece reassuring in that regard . Work hard, make cool shit.
